Why Choose Afterschool?
-
EDEP is the place to be! It's a place for your students to complete homework and have fun with friends in an educational environment. All elementary school activity leaders bring a variety of enriching activities to the program, such as art projects, cooking, theater, & more! EDEP also has laid-back fun, outdoor play, and indoor games.
Williams EDEP Program is a very fun and engaging program for all elementary-age students. We offer homework help daily with our College Volunteers/ Mentors. We have two high school programs joining us bi-weekly. Eastside High School's Science 4 Kids and Eastside High School's IB Art Students conduct science experiments or art projects respectfully. We also reward our students with monthly parties and NOBODY PARTIES LIKE EDEP.
Join us this year for a fun after-school experience! See the link above about WHY after-school programs are beneficial to our youth!

The EDEP staff must know at least one week in advance which days your child will attend the program. There is no “drop-in” service. You must fill out a new registration card each year and EDEP Scholarship Applications.
Enrollment is limited at some schools. To provide for the safety of the EDEP participants and the quality of the program, maximum capacities have been established at each school. These enrollment caps are based on the size of the available space and the total school population. Procedures have been selected for enrollment priorities and are followed by the principal until the program has reached capacity.
